Lovecraftian Puzzle "My Father Lied" Arrives on Android in 2023

In a world brimming with video games, finding a truly unique title is a treasure hunt. My Father Lied, a mystery/Lovecraftian puzzle adventure, stands out with its compelling narrative.

My Father Lied: An Indie Developer's Journey

The game's creation story is fascinating. Ahmed Alameen, the developer, wasn't initially a game designer. In 2020, he was a writer and filmmaker. A college friend suggested a collaborative game project, but the team dissolved before development began.

Undeterred, Alameen pursued the idea solo, teaching himself 3D modeling and Unreal Engine to realize his vision. Even the game's title was a collaborative effort with his wife.

Unraveling the Game's Story

The game plunges players into a mystery steeped in ancient Mesopotamian myths, brimming with secrets, puzzles, and surprises.

Players assume the role of Huda, a young woman grappling with a twenty-year-old question: What happened to her father? The answer, as the story unfolds, is far from straightforward.

Drawing inspiration from 7000 years of Mesopotamian culture, My Father Lied blends ancient lore with modern storytelling. The gameplay features simple point-and-click mechanics, beautiful 2D visuals, and immersive 360-degree images.
